The Advanced Threat Platform That Connects Attacks Across the Internet With Internal Enterprise Networks

Advanced threat defense is a must. Attackers are able to hide on corporate networks because security teams fail to use advanced threat detection or connect discrete events using traditional tools and incident response processes focused on high severity alerts.

Arbor Spectrum was designed for security teams to use advanced threat detection to uncover and investigate the most stealthy advanced threat campaigns in minutes. Therefore, your team’s scarce time is focused on finding and proving the threats that matter most. This makes your team more effective, while reducing the real risks to your business.

Advanced Threat Detection:A Unique Lens to Uncover Advanced Threats

ATLAS Global Threat Intelligence IndicatorsATLAS is a collaborative platform with more than 330+ service provider customers who have agreed to share anonymous traffic data with Arbor that encompasses more than one-third of all Internet traffic. Arbor’s Security Engineering & Response Team (ASERT) watches malware families changing generationally while also monitoring real-time botnet activity. ASERT receives updates to the malware straight from the botnet. This unique global perspective empowers Arbor customers with detailed, actionable threat intelligence.

Easy install and operationAvoid the hassle of dealing with complex, difficult to deploy and operate solutions that frustrate rather than empower users. Arbor’s Spectrum platform is built with the user in mind, for rapid deployment and broad adoption for advanced threat defense.

DDoS Proteciton for Enterprise by Arbor APS:

DDoS Protection by Arbor Networks APS

DDoS Protection by Arbor Networks APSThere are many DDoS protection solutions available today for on-premise DDoS mitigation. Only one is powered by the world's most widely deployed DDoS mitigation technology. APS delivers on-premise DDoS protection from availability threats such as application-layer DDoS attacks before they impact your network and service availability.

Powerful DDoS Protection Made Simple

Arbor Networks APS provides proven, on-premise DDoS protection for the world’s most critical enterprise and government networks. Enhanced by integrated DDoS detection and DDoS mitigation capabilities, together with automatic security updates delivered by Arbor’s Security Engineering and Response Team (ASERT), APS delivers DDoS mitigation against both known and emerging availability threats so your organization can maintain business continuity – no matter what.

Proactive DDoS Detection and Mitigation

APS automates DDoS detection and DDoS mitigation before service performance is impacted. Little to no user interaction is required, lessening the burden on your security team.

Support for Virtual Environments

Leverage the benefits of a virtual environment to quickly turn up DDoS detection and DDoS mitigation. vAPS is a virtual version of the APS appliance that supports VMware and KVM hypervisors.

Full Suite of DDoS Mitigation Countermeasures

APS incorporates advanced anti DDoS protections, or countermeasures, that have proven effective in the world’s largest and most complex network environments. These countermeasures include a set of packet-based protections developed by ASERT that neutralizes the vast majority of global botnet threats.

Integrated On-Premise and Cloud-Based DDoS Protection

A leading cause of network downtime is how quickly a cloud-based provider of DDoS protection can respond and initiate DDoS mitigation when the attacks are too big for on-premise solutions to handle on their own. With Cloud Signaling, Arbor has reduced time to mitigation to as little as five seconds. A cloud signal can be pre-set and trigger DDoS mitigation automatically when links reach a certain saturation point, or they can be done manually. This tight integration is the best way to deliver DDos protection and ensure the availability of critical network resources.

Built-in SSL Inspection to Block Encrypted Traffic

As the Internet evolves to increasingly rely on SSL encryption, DDoS attacks have also evolved to encrypt the malicious traffic and evade DDoS protection solutions. APS now includes an optional on-box SSL acceleration card to deliver an integrated, one-appliance DDoS protection solution to inspect encrypted traffic for DDoS threats. Experience DDoS mitigation in real-time as normal traffic passes uninterrupted – all without forcing changes to existing network and application infrastructure.

Inbound Reputation-based DDoS Protection

APS now includes expanded DDoS mitigation capabilities backed by the global threat intelligence of ATLAS and reputation-based research from ASERT. In-depth analysis expands the breadth of DDoS detection and DDoS mitigation of various types of availability attacks based on the source of the traffic participating in known DDoS attacks.

Inbound and Outbound Advanced Threat Protection

Organizations need a way to stop threat communications in order to protect internal systems from being compromised. APS now applies global threat intelligence of ATLAS and reputation-based research from ASERT to block both inbound and outbound threats via domain and IP reputation.

Managed Arbor Networks APS (mAPS) Service

Arbor Networks APS is the industry's leading on-premise DDoS protection product. With the Managed APS (mAPS) Service, you can rely upon the industry leading expertise of Arbor Networks to manage your on-premises APS device and optimize your DDoS protection.

Threat Intelligence

ATLAS is a collaborative project with nearly 300 service provider customers who have agreed to share anonymous traffic data with Arbor totaling an amazing 70Tbps. From this unique vantage point, Arbor is ideally positioned to deliver intelligence about DDoS, malware and botnets that threaten Internet infrastructure and network availability. The ATLAS Intelligence Feed automates the identification and mitigation of attacks from known botnets while ensuring that updates for new threats are automatically delivered without software upgrades.

Superior Security Intelligence for DDoS and Advanced Threats

Arbor Networks has built a world class team of security researchers that are dedicated to discovering and analyzing emerging Internet threats and developing targeted defenses. The team uses a sophisticated combination of attack data collection, partner information and analysis tools to create detection policies and attack countermeasures that are delivered to Arbor's entire product portfolio via the ATLAS Intelligence Feed (AIF).

Unparalleled Insight and Expert Analysis

Arbor has a long history in botnet research and DDoS mitigation. However, as DDoS has moved from just a diversion to be a feature of malware and botnets used in cybercrime and APT attacks, Arbor has expanded its research team and research capabilities to tackle additional threat types.

What separates Arbor's security intelligence from other vendors is how the team uses its pervasive service provider footprint and critical partnerships to obtain and analyze security events. The rich data that comes from this intelligence is passed on to customers through the ATLAS Intelligence Feed (AIF), giving them both a micro view of their own network combined with a macro view of global Internet traffic; this is a powerful combination of network security intelligence that is unrivaled today.

Critical components include:

ATLAS

ATLAS is the world's first and largest globally scoped threat analysis network. Launched in 2007 in partnership with a group of Arbor service provider customers, ATLAS delivers unparalleled visibility into the backbone networks that form the Internet's core. As the power of this data became evident, participation has grown to more than 275+ customers who have agreed to share anonymous traffic data, totaling an amazing 70 Tbps or approximately one-third of all Internet traffic. With the actionable intelligence provided by ATLAS, Arbor customers can make timely and informed decisions about their network security, as well as service creation, market analysis, capacity planning and application trends.

RED SKY ALLIANCE

Arbor Digital Attack Map

Arbor Networks has collaborated with Google Ideas to create a data visualization that shows what a global problem distributed denial of service (DDoS) attacks have become. Google Ideas used anonymous data from Arbor Networks’ ATLAS global threat monitoring system to build a data visualization that allows users to explore historical trends in DDoS attacks, and make the connection to related news events on any given day. The data is updated daily, and historical data can be viewed for all countries.
